Circa 1909-1910.
A fine example of Hamilton's early strap watches for men is this stunning 0-size Cushion trench watch with a 10K rolled gold plated bezel and stainless steel back in a hunter's case showcasing a porcelain dial and reinforced spring bar lugs as opposed to the "wire lugs" found in most early cushion 0 size trench watches. The porcelain dial looks beautiful with correct spade style hands. The onion crown sets and winds smoothly on this wonderful 0-size masterpiece that measures approximately 32mm wide (excluding the crown) x 39mm from lug end to lug end. Powering this watch is an adjusted 0-size 983 manual hand winding movement with 17 jewels that runs strong and has been timed for 24 hours. This nickel movement features a bridge plate, reed regulator, ruby and sapphire jewels, Breguet hairspring, and adjustments to both temperature and isochronism. Serial on movement: 1256434. There are light scratches on the case and the Star Watch Case Co. stainless steel back reads: Star Watch Case Co., 10KT RGP Bezel, Stainless Back, 3441649.
